www.gtacarkits.com/product/wi... How to install a kit that enables Wireless Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto in BMW 3-series and 4-sereies 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 model years (F30, F31, F32, F33, F36).
You, sir, are the best instructor on this mod for my 2015 328i I've found. Pure. Genius. I highly recommend this video and the only sad thing about the video is there's only a LIKE when I want to hit LOVE.
@Dangerclose4 it's great! Google refreshed Android Auto, so it now allows full-screen Maps. The box itself works well, but not perfect. This is more a fault of not having a touchscreen. I'd say the processing speed is good, but it probably would need a boost after a couple more update cycles. If the manufacturer comes out with another version, I would probably update.
Make sure to place the microphone cable in the A-pillar behind the airbag, so when it deploys, it doesn't blast throught the wire. Also it's probably a good idea to wrap all your loose wires and plastics in some kind of foam and tape it to some place where it doesn't cause rattle and noises when you drive.
Excellent video! I just installed this on my 2015 M4. The plug for my control panel (ac/heat and radio) wouldn’t come out and I didn’t want to force it so I just worked around it and it was fine. Also, I would suggest putting the radio back in BEFORE you put the glove box back. I had to take the glove box back off so I could fit my hand behind it to help move the harness around to get the radio to slide all the way back. Other than that, these instructions were great. Anyone can do this with some patience. It wasn’t hard at all.
Thanks for the vid! Just started looking into getting an MMI and screen upgrade for my 2014 428i xDrive. Do you happen to know if I need the CIC model?

Lmfao step 978: Once you have saved up enough money, you will want to buy a car that already has Appleplay installed on it that way you can ignore the last 977 steps.
Exactly what i thought it's fucking ridiculous to remove all this crap to install one module, dumb as f, just buy a module you plug on the car play cable ffs 🤣
The glove compartment definitely does not need to be removed. The work can be saved, because it is absolutely sufficient only to loosen the lower cover with two 10 screws and insert the module there. No holes necessary, everything remains original. Did it yesterday in an hour
*HELP* IM CONFUSED... 2016 F46 2 SERIES GRAN TOURER HAS THE BIG SCREEN BUT NOT TOUCH CONTACTED A FEW CODERS THEY SAY MY SYSTEM CAN'T GET APPLE PLAY ON IT.. WHY? AND WHAT VERSION IS MINE? I DRIVE 4? CAN'T FIND MUCH ON IT ONLINE
Does this count with its own Bluetooth connection? My BMW's Bluetooth doesn't work and I am thinking of buying one of these but i don't know if it will work.
We found that OEM screens are still superior. Aftermarket ones glitch especially in Hot or Cold weather, and aftermarket ones do not have the same ability to show information well if you are wearing polarized sunglasses while driving. Thank you.
Android wifi mirroring only works for a short time? There are three warning messages that the WiFi connection is unstable and then it breaks after 10 minutes, what wifi problem? The car is BMW F32 year 2017?
So me and a buddy put it in. Now, the audio won’t work. We had a problem with the screen being black too. Audio IN cable is on the radio and audio OUT cable is on the kit. What’s wrong with this
So, if using this system for CarPlay, it's not able to tie into (use) the factory microphone? (for Siri) You *have* to install the mic provided? Is there another aftermarket CarPlay system out there that ties into the factory mic (for Siri)? Also, this video was OUTSTANDING. Thank you for taking the time to include your tips, and making sure to not miss many details. Well done!
No not possible. You can listen to original radio, and see google directions on the screen, but our kit will not override original radio to play step by step directions. To hear directions from the CarPlay, you would need AUX as the source. Thank you.
Anyone try using Android auto on this and if so how well does it work? In past experiences cars seem to work much easier with iPhones than android in general.
Couldn't you use the USB in the center console instead of having a cable sticking out of the glove box? You know where the factory USB and aux input are.
Quick tutorial : Remove the whole interior of the car to plug the tool 🤣 Or you buy a module that you plug on your normal car play cable and don't have to remove anything in the car.
Aliexprsss type: Wireless CarPlay Android Auto Car Multimedia Display Screen For BMW F30 or F32 (still would cost you $300-400 depending on NBT camera option or not)
550 bucks are u really ?! You can get it for like 200 300 bucks on Alliexpress I guess that's how u do this....I mean your business if u can call it business..haha what a shame
